An exclusive benefit of Chamber membership is being able to see what deals and promotions are available from other members. Once you join as a member, you can post your deals or promotions to Member2Member to reach our 1,000+ strong business membership.
Under the leadership of our Board of Directors, the Chamber has worked hard to increase the value and variety of Chamber programming for our members. Without increasing operating expenses, we have been able to build upon our traditional programming - increasing member attendance and engagement - while also creating new programming designed to help small business succeed in the increasingly competitive and online marketplace.
We are committed to more collaboration and more innovation to create greater value for our sponsors, our members and our local economy.
